~ Why were Adam and Eve's children immune to incest complications?

Question

Even if they're children were healthy, 6000 years wouldn't be long enough for all this diversity to come into being. And why would God create different races when that causes conflict? Perhaps the different races are product of evolution?

Uh, you people ever heard of slavery?

Answer 1

Oh, come on, don't be silly now. What kind of educated person would try to deny that genetic diversity _wasn't_ the result of God gatting angry when a bunch of people tried to build a tower?

You're just being silly now...

Answer 2

Adam and Eve were perfect and their immediate children were close to perfection that is why they lived for such a long time. So then they would not have the complications related to incest as we would now. How long does it takes for diversity to come in the human race? We don't have the proof because we cannot experiment with it so how do you know it is not possible to happen in 6000 yrs or so? And what is needed for diversity more than a man a woman... I believed different races came about after the tower of Babel when the languages came into play and everyone joined up with those that spoke their own language and moved and grouped together. In relation to variations in the human race I believe it came about because of the changes that were taking place in the environment caused by sin. Remember that there was nothing like thorns and fangs on animals, so because of sin alot of distortions occurred not evolution.

Answer 3

I kind of like Douglas Adams' idea that we aren't decendents of Adam and Eve, but rather the decendents of telephone sanitizers and hair dressers that crash landed here after being expelled from their planet for being absolutely useless - which would explain the diversity.

I don't know tho. The Bible gives an explanation on different races and things of that nature if you want to go read it - the whole Ishmael Islam thing or something like that I don't really remember or care to remember. Tower of Babel and the like. You don't want to believe that - I suggest studying some archelogical facts.

Answer 4

"6,000 years wouldn't be long enough"?
On what basis do you make such a bold statement?
Just opinion?
Just because you personally find it difficult to accept?
“Popular Science,” reports that physicist Robert Gentry of Columbia Union College in Maryland “believes that all of the dates determined by radioactive decay may be off—not only by a few years, but by orders of magnitude.” In fact, Gentry asserts that “presently accepted ages may be too high by a factor of thousands.”
He observes:
“Man, instead of having walked the earth for 3.6 million years, may have been around for only a few thousand.”

English author Malcolm Muggeridge said:
“The Genesis account seems sober enough and at least has the merit of being validly related to what we know about human beings and their behavior.”
He said that the claims of millions of years for man’s evolution cannot but strike anyone not caught up in the [evolutionary] myth as pure fantasy.” He concluded:
“Posterity will surely be amazed, and I hope vastly amused, that such slipshod and unconvincing theorizing should have so easily captivated twentieth-century minds and been so widely and recklessly applied.”

Re marrying relatives:
There was very little danger then of marked deformities being brought forth in the children, because the human race was much closer to perfection than now. Few bad genes (either “recessive” or “dominant”) would exist.
it took a long time for genetic defects to become so numerous and so grouped in family lines that it became dangerous to the offspring for close relatives to marry.

Answer 5

It takes just one generation to add to diversity.
I think your information is incorrect.

The scientist believe the Cro-magnon to be superior to us physically and mentally. Pointing to that as an example of how man has continued to deteriorate with imperfection as time goes on.

There was a time marriage between close relatives had no ill effects on their offspring, but in time it was no longer allowed by God.

Answer 6

Because it was necessary at the time for God to allow it for the purpose of populating the planet. God did not expect as much from us in the beginning because He was patient with us. But after He was born of the Virgin Mary, He (Jesus) told us everything that He expected of us and gave all of His authority to His Church (and in particular to office of the Pope) to teach on all matters of faith and morals until He returns.

Answer 7

No there is no reason it should cause conflict.
We are causing wars between people who look alike.
How do you explain that?
They were closer to perfection. We are the bottom of the barrell.

Answer 8

If your going to believe in the bible and its teaching then do so without questioning it. isnt that what he wants?

if you want more reasonable and logical explanations then start reading up on archeology kinda things.

Answer 9

I think you already know the answer to your own question.

Answer 10

because they are are fictional characters
